Review of Polling Districts and Polling Places 2014.

Malvern Hills District Council is currently undertaking a review of all polling districts and polling places, and welcomes your comments and views on our existing arrangements and the proposals of the Acting Returning Officer.

The review is a statutory requirement according to Section 18 of the Representation of the People Act 1983.

It will be undertaken at least every four years and does not affect ward boundaries.

The review is carried out to make sure that all electors have reasonable facilities for voting.

Any elector within the district, or within the parliamentary constituency, may make representation concerning the existing or proposed arrangements.

Any person or body making representation should, if possible, give alternative places that may be used as polling places.

Polling district - this is a geographical sub-division of an electoral area. It is the building block of the wards, electoral areas and constituencies and many are defined by parish boundaries. Each parish in England must be in a separate polling district.

Polling place - this is the geographical area or actual building within which a polling station is located.

Polling station - this is the room or area within the polling place where voting takes place.
